some CF greenness, but also a broad cut of bramble and current fruit. Gaining some light spicy notes from age. Drinking well now, but would probably keep.

Ruby and youthful. Nose of red and blackcurrant and berry fruit, palate is fresh and delivers the same fruit as the nose with some brambles, nice fruit and acidity balance. I have had the 2003 and this wine is nearly as good. Excellent.

En liten besvikelse... Liten doft med gröna drag och toner av rök. Aningen bittermandel men ingen frukt. Ingen frukt i smaken heller. Torra och ganska mesiga tanniner. Torrt och bittert slut. Ingenting av de förväntade mognadstonerna som andra har upplevt. Dålig flaska? 78p Provade samma flaska igen efter en vecka i kylen. Mycket bättre! Lite frukt döljer sig bakom den ganska strama och torra doften, lite stall, en del kryddor och de typiska gröna tonerna, tankarna går till hö och torrt gräs. Fortfarande mycket stram och hög syra, men också lite syrlig frukt och en ganska bra längd. 85p

Classic Loire cab franc, still lots of green tones of freshly cut grass and peppers, crisp acidity but also with an ageing touch of cedar tree, dried fruit and that lovely "barnyard"-aroma. Good now but will last many years. Great wine for a more than reasonable price.

Bright red fruits. Ripe, softened a bit but still quite youthful. Many years left.
